1.In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's 
                                                   G 
I found myself not feeling any pain 
Em                                                 A 
I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom 
Em                                                         A 
She said she'd only come to catch a train 
  D       
2.We struck up some idle conversation 
                                                    G 
Traded all the troubles on our minds 
Em                                                A 
One thing led to another in the evening 
Em    G                  A                       D 
And I fell in love again for my last time 
 
(Chorus) 
 D                                                      Em     Em7 
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason 
A                                               A7                     D 
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime  
                                                           Em     Em7 
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason 
          G                   A                       D 
That I fell in love again for my last time 
 
3.Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio 
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell 
I felt all the pains of a morning after 
And all alone as far as I could tell  
 
4.Why she left I have no way of knowing 
I guess she caught her train and that's a crime 
She took everything I ever wanted 
And I fell in love again for my last time  
 
(Chorus)Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason 
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime 
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason 
That I fell in love again for my last time
